Development News To our alumni family, friends and supporters: This has been an exciting fall for the School of Social Work. We unveiled our Wall of Donors on Oct. 1 and our 75th anniversary celebrations culminated with a gala three weeks later. The Wall of Donors helps us to reflect on our past as we look to the future. It reminds us of the pioneering men and women who shaped our beginnings and the many persons who have since contributed to our expanding influence in the community, the state and the nation. Our committed donors support our faculty, our students and our graduates—all living proof that social workers make a difference. This issue of Mosaics has its own recognition wall on the following pages, listing donors who made gifts to the school over the past year. Whether those listed here are first-time givers or yearly donors, each has a special story to tell about why the School of Social Work matters to them. I have had the privilege of meeting with many of our supporters over the years to hear the ways they are connected to the school, how they value the profession, and how much they recognize the importance of being active contributors to the future of social work. As we consider the future of the school, we know we can rely on our faculty, alumni and friends to provide generous support to the future of the profession. It was in recognition of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the school that we launched our 75th Anniversary Scholarship Fund. More than half of our master students and all our doctoral students need financial help to complete their studies. Because of your generosity and commitment to educating social workers, one-third of the $50,000 endowment needed for the scholarship fund was raised through 75th Anniversary Gala ticket and sponsorship sales. With your continuing support, we anticipate awarding a 75th Anniversary Alumni Scholarship annually to a deserving student as living demonstration of the legacy of the School of Social Work making a difference in the communities in which we practice. We all knew our gala event would be festive. We are gratified that it showed the degree of commitment of our friends and supporters to increasing both the size and number of scholarships for our students. I am confident that we—all of us together—see the importance of investing in their future. As director of development, it is my privilege to be responsible for generating support for the School of Social Work by involving alumni and friends in opportunities such as this to strengthen the school. I am honored to report that your generosity is making a difference If you are interested in seeing the 75th Anniversary Alumni Scholarship Fund grow, or if you would like to contribute to scholarship, please contact me at 881-8206 or mds27@buffalo. With thanks to all, Mantha SaleH-Wyse Director of development 16 mosaics : WINTER 2010
